点评:I remember John Seigenthaler. He was a noted civil rights advocate, staunch defender of the First Amendment, journalist, writer and editor for the Nashville Tennessean in the 1950s. So it is appropriate that the city renamed the Sparkman Street Bridge or the Shelby Street Bridge in his name following his death in 2014. Built in 1909, the 3,150-foot-long truss bridge spans the Cumberland River connecting downtown Nashville and Riverfront Park on the west side of the river to Cumberland Park on the east side. It is one of the world's longest pedestrian-only bridges and offers panoramic views of the city. The bridge was the first in North America to have concrete arched trusses. The western terminus is close to some of Nashville's most celebrated tourist attractions, including Music City Center, Bridgestone Arena and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Seigenthaler Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
翻译:我记得约翰·西根塔勒。他是一位著名的民权倡导者,也是美国宪法第一修正案的坚定捍卫者,曾在20世纪50年代担任《纳什维尔田纳西人报》的记者、作家和编辑。因此,在他2014年去世后,纳什维尔市将斯帕克曼街大桥或谢尔比街大桥以他的名字重新命名,可谓恰如其分。这座建于1909年的桁架桥全长3150英尺(约950米),横跨坎伯兰河,连接着河西岸的纳什维尔市中心和河滨公园,以及东岸的坎伯兰公园。它是世界上最长的步行桥之一,可以饱览城市全景。这座桥是北美第一座采用混凝土拱桁架结构的桥梁。西端靠近纳什维尔一些最著名的旅游景点,包括音乐城中心、普利司通体育馆和乡村音乐名人堂。西根塔勒桥于 1998 年被列入国家史迹名录。
